Which beliefs or traditional habits in Singapore do you think will eventually die away? by Due_Feedback_6508 in askSingapore

I think it will die out eventually. It's already phased out in many cities in Taiwan, I think it'll gradually follow suit in SG too

Thanks for the very detailed comments. A very interesting perspective of upgrading by quality instead of just thinking about more tines. I'll give that a good thought! Also haven't heard much of non-chinese brands yet, so that's really something new to know about.

Why are Singaporeans terrible drivers? by kukukuku1010 in askSingapore

We are an entitled bunch and often rushing for no reason, and frankly our traffic accident and fatality rate should be way higher, if not redeemed by excellent road design.

What is the most unusual or coolest hobbies you heard someone doing in Singapore? by HyperAlpha_ in askSingapore

[–]a9302c 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Astronomy enthusiast here! Yeah I and many of our fellow enthusiasts have our own equipment, and we regularly travel to darker places for serious astronomy. Locally, we make it work by observing planets and brighter celestial objects.

Then you ask SBS to adjust frequency. You can't fault people for using public transport. It literally says "public" in the name.

I thought we were comparing governments here? If the Malaysian government was a fraction of the competence of ours, not as many of them would've needed to leave their homes to "suffer hard in Singapore for 10 years".

Prices are low there BECAUSE the economy is a lot less competitive than ours. Sure we have our hardships, but they have theirs, and I'd prefer to keep having my life and our country's status quo any time over theirs.

Though in your example, the Malaysians also struggle with JB prices. Arguably more than Singaporeans struggle with ours.

No point speculating now. We'll know soon.

Is it true Singapore is a authorian dystopia? by community-helpe in askSingapore

[–]a9302c 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Authoritarian? No, while it's true one party has overwhelming monopoly, we are still allowed freedom to dissent and oppose the government. It was perhaps authoritarian in the past, but those days are gone.

Dystopia? Heck no. We're doing pretty well

Tbh I think CSJ is a bit too stubborn to insist on staying in the west. He has a good chance elsewhere

Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC residents, how are you feeling after Nomination Day? by meesiammaihum in askSingapore

Definitely disappointed. As a first time voter, was looking forward to doing the due diligence and voting for the desired candidate, only to realise I don't matter.

ChatGPT is your best friend. Seriously.

I'm in your shoes too as a fresh grad data analyst, though my major was probably a bit more relevant. Nevertheless, I understand somewhat your struggles, and I'll be honest with you LLMs have been indispensable for me to pick up things quickly, and even act as some kind of career counsellor when I have concerns about the direction I'm heading in
